I think the song is ok, but it's no Girl Crush. I don't think it is all that special, really, so I do think some of the sales are coming from Taylor being the writer. Her fans are just like us - they would buy anything just cause she is associated with it.

I really do like "Better man" but you can hear the TS influence. The TS isms are definitely very noticeable, I wish Karen had made it more of it her own. It's a good song.

I love how country radio is eating it up and glorifying TS. I Listen to 94.7 whenever Carrie is goin for #1 and they played that song so often (initially I didn't like it but after a few listen it stuck).

True, I listen to 94.7 too, and they do mention TS often when they play Better Man.

Zayn and Taylor Swift's "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" rises 3-2 on the Hot 100, hitting a new peak. As parent album the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, following its Feb. 10 release and the arrival of the movie the same day, "Live" lifts 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (143,000, up 31 percent). It also jumps 5-2 on Radio Songs (109 million, up 10 percent), while keeping at No. 4 on Streaming Songs (21.2 million, down 7 percent).

I think it's peak it's going to be #2 on The Hot 100. Shape Of You is a monster hit!
